Thanks for the recommendations! I can't remember how much of Rit whitener I used but I believe it was a whole pack. I then looked at the box and realized I used waaaaay more than you would in a typical laundry load. I mixed it in a 5 gallon bucket with water and soaked the cheesecloth for 10 minutes. The fumes ffrom the Rit were surprisingly pungent. I then rinsed the cheesecloth then threw it in the dryer.
Flying Crank Ghost - Do I Need to Re-Blue?
Good evening fellow Haunters!
Last year, I made a Flying Crank Ghost that was a huge hit with the neighborhood. I "blued" the cheesecloth by soaking it in a bucket full of Rit and water. I then hung it up to dry. The ghost was indoors for all of Halloween and has been stored in my garage with a black trash bag over top of it. Have any of you found that you had to re-blue the cheesecloth to get it amazingly black light reactive again? Does the phosphorus or whatever is in Rit degrade over time? I'm tempted to get a spray bottle of rit and water and just taking the thing outside and giving it a spritz. Just curious if anyone else has found the need to re-apply. Thanks and happy hauntings!
